The Swiss medical technology industry remains on a growth trajectory, continuing to outperform the overall economy. However, the latest industry study by Swiss Medtech and the Helbling Group reveals growing concerns about Switzerland's attractiveness as a Medtech hub: investments are declining, employment growth has stalled, and many companies view the business environment more critically than they did just a few years ago.

The study published by Swiss Medtech and the Helbling Group is based on a survey in which over 600 medtech companies operating in Switzerland took part.

The study was published in Bern on September 9, 2026.
